Could not install mysql, on windows, had several conflicts or bugs.
In order to solve it:
* Used the "libmysql.dll" provided by PHP zip files, not the one that comes with Mysql, the mysql file had to be moved or deleted from its folder. Put it on the "apache/bin" folder, altought some use it in "windows" folder.
* Originally, moved "*mysql*.dll" files from its extension folder, and returned back.
* enabled mysql driver extensions in the "php.ini" file, but also enabled some extensions, that seemed not to be required, but, it did, like "php_openssl.dll" or "php_pdo.dll" on an early version of php.
Added the "PHPIniDir xxx"" to the "httpd.conf" apache config. file, where xxx is the path to the folder where the "php.ini" file is located, and make sure its the same.
Be warned, that this fixes, may help or not, for your installation, since there are many ways to configure the same thing (to solve a problem).
Instalación
Para compilar, simplemente usar la opción de configuración --with-mysql[=DIR] donde opcionalmente [DIR] apunta al directorio de instalación de MySQL.
Aunque esta extensión de MySQL es compatible con MySQL 4.1.0 y superior, no da soporte a las funcionalidades extra que estas versiones proveen. Para ello usar la extensión MySQLi.
Si se quisiera instalar la extensión de MySQL junto con la extensión MySQLi se debe usar la misma libreria de cliente para evitar cualquier conflicto.
Instalación en Sistemas Linux
Nota: [DIR] es la ruta a los ficheros de la biblioteca cliente de MySQL (cabeceras y bibliotecas), los cuales se pueden descargar desde » MySQL.
| Versión de PHP | Por defecto | Opciones de configuración: mysqlnd | Opciones de configuración: libmysqlclient | Historial de cambios |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.x.x | libmysqlclient | Not Available | --without-mysql to disable | MySQL habilitada por omisión, las bibliotecas cliente de MySQL están incluidas |
| 5.0.x, 5.1.x, 5.2.x | libmysqlclient | Not Available | --with-mysql=[DIR] | MySQL ya no está habilitada de forma predeterminada, y las bibliotecas cliente de MySQL ya no están incluidas |
| 5.3.x | libmysqlclient | --with-mysql=mysqlnd | --with-mysql=[DIR] | mysqlnd ahora está disponible |
| 5.4.x | mysqlnd | --with-mysql | --with-mysql=[DIR] | mysqlnd ahora es el predeterminado |
Instalación en sistemas Windows
PHP 4
La extensión MySQL de PHP está compilada dentro de PHP.
PHP 5.0.x, 5.1.x, 5.2.x
MySQL ya no está activado por defecto, así la DLL php_mysql.dll debe ser habilitada dentro de php.ini. Además, PHP necesita acceso a la libreria de cliente de MySQL. Un archivo llamado libmysql.dll que está incluido en la distribución de PHP de Windows, y así PHP se comunica con MySQL, este fichero necesita estar disponible en el PATH de los sistemas Windows. Para información sobre como hacerlo ver el FAQ titulado "Cómo agrego mi directorio de PHP a PATH en Windows". Aunque copiando libmysql.dll al directorio del sistema de Windows también funcionará (ya que el directorio del sistema está por defecto en el PATH del sistema), pero no está recomendado.
Como ocurre con cualquier otra extensión de PHP (tal como php_mysql.dll), la directiva de PHP extension_dir, debe establecer el directorio donde estan localizada las extensiones de PHP. Ver también el Manual de instrucciónes de instalación en Windows. Un ejemplo de valor de extension_dir para PHP 5 es c:\php\ext
Nota:
Si al iniciar el servidor web se produce un error similar al siguiente: "Unable to load dynamic library './php_mysql.dll'", esto se debe a que php_mysql.dll y/o libmysql.dll no puede ser encontrado por el sistema.
PHP 5.3.0+
El Controlador Nativo de MySQL está habilitado por omisión. Incluya php_mysql.dll, pero libmysql.dll ya no es necesario o usado.
Notas de la instalación de MySQL
Advertencia
Se pueden encontrar errores y problemas de inicio de PHP al cargar esta extensión en conjunción con la extensión recode. Para más información ver la extension recode.
Nota:
Si fueran necesarios otro juego de caracteres distinto de latin (predeterminado), se ha de instalar externamente (no incluido) libmysqlclient con el soporte para el juego de caracteres compilado.

Please note that libmySQL.dll in MySQL bin directory should be renamed in order to use right library (that comes with PHP).

i've experienced a similar (if not the same) problem.
to enable the mysql_... and mysqli_... funtionality, i opened the php.ini file to uncomment the following lines:
;extension=php_mysql.dll
;extension=php_mysqli.dll
;extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
but phpinfo() still stated that no mysql extensions were loaded.
i tried the fixes and suggestions above with no success.
so i invoked the windows shell and typed ("Path" environment variable set to the PHP & MySQL directories):
php.exe -m
this returned the following error: "PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\php5\php_mysql.dll' - Module not found."
this told me that PHP didn't recognize what i thought was the extensions directory. it searched all other places first (sys-dir, workin'-dir, the MySQL "bin" dir because of the "Path" variable set, and even a curious directory "C:\php5" that doesn't even exist on my mashine) but not the expected "ext" directory.
so the fix was to go to "php.ini" again and uncomment the following line:
;extension_dir="ext"
this fixed it for me.
so if module loading is done improperly, first of all check the "Path" environment variable and the "php.ini" file - especially the "extension_dir" config value - and check if all values are set to their correct values.
hope this helps any1.

I believe that this is happens especially with Windows 7. As far I I've been able to tell XP and Vista come with this line enabled, but windows 7 comments it out and notes that the DNS will handle this.

In windows systems, the same error "unable to load dynamic library php_mysql.dll" will happen, if there's an old version of the file in the "windows\system32" folder.
Either remove it or update it.

I had problems when moving from a version of PHP that used the isapi dll to the fast cgi version. The script to register the script maps compained that there was already a script map in place.
I went to the IIS control panel, right clicked on websites and removed the php association in the Home Directory | Configuration screen.
However, the fastcgi script still complained about existing script map. Finally I tracked it down, I had to right click on Default Web Site and clear out the php mappings from there too.
Then it all worked, except that for some strange reason, the php.ini file that gets picked up is the one from my old PHP directory, not the latest upgrade one. But this can be detected by running phpinfo which shows the loaded php.ini file so I knew which one to amend with the fastcgi options.
Bit of a hassle to figure it all out but it does work in the end.

I ran into the soon to be infamous problem of upgrading to PHP 5.3.x.
The way I found to resolve the issue was to
1: Do "mysql_upgrade" on the server (to make MySQL compliant with MySQL 4.1+).
2: Modify my.cf to not use old passwords:
(Just comment out "old_passwords=1")
#old_passwords=1
3: Change the root password so you can properly connect to the server:
SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('enter_new_password_here');

I've checked all the 5.3 distribution files from http://windows.php.net/ for the "libmysql.dll" file that this article claims is in the distributions.
None of the 5.3 dist. supplies "libmysql.dll". Download the recent 5.2 release for the file.

Windows 7 / Vista:
This took me hours to realise... If you receive the message:
Warning: mysql_connect(): [2002] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not (trying to connect via tcp://localhost:3306)
You may need to map localhost to your IP address (127.0.0.1) which is used to find your Mysql server.
Edit {systemdrive}:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
Make sure "127.0.0.1 localhost" isn't commented out with # at the begining of the line!
-----
You may also like to know that if you change from MySQL 32 bit to 64 bit and the Mysql service wont start you may need to rename or delete your Mysql data
{systemdrive}:\ProgramData\x MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\data

Jez.

I have experienced exactly the same problem as flo_stefi at yahoo dot com below. It appears that instead of loading libmysql.dll that came with the PHP package, the PHP engine was loading libmySQL.dll located in MySQL's bin directory, which was causing Apache to crash.
I fixed the problem by renaming MySQL's libmySQL.dll into libmySQL_renamed.dll. Now PHP loads the library that came with its package and everything works fine.

I had a problem to make mysql work with php on Windows. Using mysql-5.1.32-win32 and php-5.2.9-1-win32-installer I've installed mysql and php. All seemed to be ok (phpinfo displayed the right information) but when running a basic script mysql_connect(..) the apache ends with a stupid error like "[Wed Apr 01 14:44:05 2009] [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting.".
I manage to fix it by using instead of libMySQL.dll from mysql package another version (libmysql.dll) I had from a previous installation.

I figured my problem why php and mysql weren't working together even though they worked independent of each other. PHP was configured with IIS 5.1 (XP) using the php5isapi.dll file.
I also set system variables in PATH adding the locations of both php and mysql folders. I also moved the mysql DLL files from ext folder to the root folder of php.
I discovered that php would not work with mysql if php folder was not located on the C:\ (i.e. C:\php). I also renamed the libmysql.dll that came with mysql so that the system would not see it, and moved the one that came with php to C:\WINDOWS\system32.
After I did this last paragraph i was able to see MySQL and MySQLi sections listed in phpinfo() which indicates MySQL is finally enabled

Unfortunately this one bit me for a good half day.
Placing libmysql.dll in the php/ext directory did not work. I tested this under 5.6.2. You need to have it somewhere in the PATH or in SYSTEM or SYSTEM32. But to me this is very silly to force the user to have to setup environment variables or move DLLs around. It shouldn't have to go that far and be the responsibility of the setup program and/or developer.
I really think this issue could be solved doing this:
1) Installer/distribution bundle all three files together under one directory (ext) - php_mysql.dll/php_mysqli.dll/libmysql.dll
2) Developer goes into php_mysql.dll/php_mysqli.dll and in DllMain() on DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
LoadLibrary ("./libmysql.dll");
Then you don't have to deal with this problem and neither do your users.

This error also occurs if the windows path entry for an older version of MYSQL appears before the path entry for a late version of php. In which case the version of libmysl.dll in the MySQL bin directory will be found before the one bundled with php. Reversing the system path entries so php is first fixes this problem. e.g.
PATH= ... c:\php;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\bin
